Around Beacon

Some scenes from Beacon the week before Halloween. Today was the Halloween parade, among other events. We stopped at the Farmer's Market and went to our favorite store, Mountain Tops

The dogs at Mountain Tops were dressed for Halloween.

Beacon Farmer's Market

The Beacon Farmer's Market is held ever Sunday - even in the winter - at the train station parking lot. In foul weather, it is held indoors at the Beacon Sloop Club, same location. We stopped there yesterday on the way home from grocery shopping to complement those purchases with some fresh fruit and corn.

Migliorelli Farm is from Tivoli, about 30 miles north of here. We got peaches and corn from their stand, which is hardly a sampling of all their produce.


 Tierra Farms has all manner of dried fruit and nuts.



We get stuff from Pickle Licious from time time. Today we got Kalamata olives and pickled mushrooms.

There's also fresh bread...

...and iced coffee and ground coffee from Tas Kafe, which is in Beacon.

This gentleman was selling SerenDipiTea.

 A florist!

I had never heard of vegan ice cream until this day.

Jennifer got two boxes of ravioli from Bongo and Capacci (website not found!).

Occasionally there is someone selling handmade jewelry, such as It's A Wrap.

Another interesting vendor for whom I could find no web info.

Did you know we made wine here in Dutchess County? Millbrook Winery is in Millbrook (of all places), a beautiful small town with such residents as Ric Ocasek, Paulina Porizkova, Liam, Neeson, Timothy Leary (OK, he's dead, but I finally get to say "Timothy Leary's dead!"), Daryl Hall, Faith Hill, Sigourney Weaver, Rufus Wainright, and Mary Tyler Moore. The Cars recorded their latest album there in 2010. Golden Earring named their album, also recorded there, after the town.

Gotta love 'exquisite tarts' from Dutch Desserts.


Walnut Grove Farms.

Didn't catch where these folks were from, but their sandwiches smelled great.

Common Ground Farm is a community farming project run out of Beacon and Fishkill.

They have a cool bus!
